Disney Web store VS Disney Outlet Store

[saraschoening]

We are headed to WDW in May and are flying out of Seattle (we are from Victoria, BC) We are staying in Seattle for a couple of days, hoping to get some shopping done and one of the stores that I want to go to is the Disney Outlet in the Seattle Premium Outlets. I was just wondering if anyone can tell me if they carry items similar to what the Web store carries.. specifically their Ponchos. We were thinking of just picking up some cheapies at Canadian Tire but the Disney ones are only $5 a piece (2 or more) on the Disney Web store. Thats a great deal so I was wondering what my odds were of finding these in the outlet? Also how much are the Ponchos if I buy them at the park?

I'm not sure what Disney Web store you are talking about, I you want to tell me where to find it, I can look at it...I work at a Disney outlet Store. We carry some of the regular store merchandise product at regular prices, but there are some things that we get that the core stores don't...but I now we have never had ponchos...so I am definitely curious!

Thanks!

Okay...I know our store has never had Ponchos ( like the park ones), but I have never seen them online either! So I may have to look into that!

For the most part you will find the same things in the store that you do online. There are a few exceptions...most outlets will not have "Premium" things, like the special edition dolls and Animator dolls. But, some outlets get Disneyland Resort (DLR) merchandise. Our store is a DLR outlet, and we get some pretty nifty stuff sometimes. A lot of things just say Disney Parks sometimes, so that is nice (because I am a WDW fan...never been to Disneyland) and we never know what will be in those shipments, so it is hit or miss sometimes in getting some things. But if that store is a DLR store, it is definitely worth checking it out.

Have fun!

I am off in search of ponchos...

I have been a few times, (but been 6.5 years), but bringing several people on this trip that will be first timers...one being a 4 year princess girl...totally new territory for me...I am used to traveling with my now 21 year old son! LOL!
